Pontardawe Town v Ammanford
Date Saturday 25th September 2010

Venue -The Recreation Ground, Pontardawe

                            Weather - Sunshine but cold wind
                                  Pitch - Well prepared

Ponty went into this game wishing to make a statement as reigning champions, and make a statement they did. Paul Thomas settled what little Ponty nerves there were, netting after just 3 minutes. Further goals followed from Liam James on 28 and 33 minutes before Tom Blackburn made it 4-0 on 43 minutes. Ponty went into the half time break deservedly 4-0 up.

The second half started and continued, much as the first half had with Pontardawe making all the play. Ammanford were able to pass the ball around when they managed to gain possession but lacked that cutting edge that Ponty oozed. Ianto (Ian Jones) got the score line ticking away again for Ponty on 51 minutes, followed in quick succession by Liam James grabbing his hat-trick on 52 minutes, James Pickup making it 7-0 on 55 minutes with Tom Blackburn making it 8-0 on 59 minutes, with Tom Blackburn then grabbing his hat-trick and Ponty's 9th on 65 minutes. The expectant Ponty following had to wait until the 82nd minute for Arwel Rees to make it 10-0 with the performance  rounded off in the 85th minute by Ianto grabbing his second and Ponty's 11th.

This was a commanding display by Ponty and sets the groundwork for another successful season if this performance can be taken into subsequent games.

Man of the match award was tied and went to Ianto and Arwel (Tom Blackburn was unable to make it back to the clubhouse) with Deano picking up "Minge of the match" and taking a very long 5 minutes to "down in one" his Guinness !!
